Since my AT&T ICS 4.04(final update) Atrix 2 won't pass beyond the M logo (have been flashed like ten times), I need someones help.
I can't downgrade to GB because would brick the phone forever or upgrade to a newer version. Or flash a custom ROM because the phone is not rooted and doesn't have any custom recovery tool installed.
So, I was thinking, maybe if I could flash an already rooted system and a custom recovery using RSDLite, could boot into the custom recovery, install a custom ROM and see if I can fix my phone.
Or maybe flash(RSDLite) a backup(or only the files need for this purpose) made by any user of the forum.
Is that possible? Please help.

It would be better to ask all the questions in one thread itself, rather than making new ones each time for a newer question.
RSDLite can't flash files which aren't signed by Motorola, hence no pre-rooted or custom recovery installed ROM can be flashed this way, since they won't have Motorola signatures.

Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
Help cant upgrade to new firmware. I have a rooted droid razr , im pretty the problem is the custom kernal i have(3.0.8-g29cf5e7 [email protected]@il93lnxdroid54 #1) also i didnt back up anything!?!?! so i think i need either to unrrot, get ahold of a stock rom somehow or find away to make my current rom work. plz help
Download stock rom from here or any other site. You need not unroot for that.
Flash it manually with any flash tool or by copying to sd card and updating through CWM recovery.
You can find list of custom and stock roms in the link below. Select the appropriate rom that supports your device. Unsupported rom may stuck you in bootloop.
Howdy y'all. I bricked my old G2 D800, I don't want a repeat with the new one. I tried doing all the research I could. I have a new D800, 10d, 4.4.2. I want CM11, tried reading the threads on that and custom recovery. I just need a little help to make sure I have the order of operations down pat before I crash another. I've rooted and flashed ROMs before, but not with th locked boot loader and security AT&T has.
Please just correct me if I'm wrong. Through the threads I have read I believe this is what I am to do.
1.) Flash my 4.4.2 back to 4.2.2 using LG FT
2.) Root using IO23
3.) Download Flashify & install TWRP 2.7.7 with Loki
4.) Follow steps to install CM 10.2
5.) Follow steps to install CM 11
Of course make backup once 4.2.2 plus root and TWRP is achieved before trying CM. I just want CM like I've had on previous phones. Thanks in advance.
All is good back to being ROM junkie. Anyone who does read and wishes to flash custom roms and get custom recovery on KK. Obtain root via IOroot25, then use AutoRec Recovery Installer for TWRP recovery.
Hi all
I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere
I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms
for the android devs and rom chefs,
how do I take stock firmware, either as:
a .tar.md5 or
a twrp/cwm recovery backup
and root it?
reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,
so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem
